Great Neck Library patrons are invited to join the Main Characters Book Club for the inaugural discussion on a book selected from its collection.
The September book selection is “The Flamethrowers” by Rachel Kushner. It was named one of the top ten books of 2013 and one of the best books of the century by The New York Times.
Reno, so-called because of the place of her birth, comes to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art. Her arrival coincides with an explosion of activity—artists colonize a deserted and industrial SoHo, stage actions in the East Village, blur the line between life and art.
The Main Characters Book Club will occur in the Main Library Small Multipurpose Room at 159 Bayview Avenue, Great Neck, on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 1 p.m. No registration is required.
Copies of the title are available on eBook and eAudiobook via OverDrive.
If you have any questions or need help requesting a physical copy of the book, please call 516-466-8055 ext. 202 or email nyamada@greatnecklibrary.org.
